Nabucco is
the opera which
established Verdi's
reputation as a great
composer and even he
realized its importance
as he noted this is the
opera with which my
artistic career really
begins. iTromboni alum
Kenneth Pearce and Andrew
Poirier have skillfully
set the Overture to
Nabucco to highlight the
beautiful melodies and
technical flare in their
arrangement for trombone
quintet (2 altos, 2
tenors, bass). As in the
original, it all begins
with a stately trombone
chorale, hints at the big
melody of Va, pensiero
(the great chorus of the
Hebrew slaves) and
reaches its energetic
conclusion full of gusto!
This arrangement is
suitable for advanced
performers and can be
heard on iTromboni's
debut album: there goes
the neighbourhood.
